Blinx 2 Timewarps Onto Xbox

Whilst SPOnG is still struggling to come up with a proper definition for the fourth dimension, Microsoft Game Studios has gone and introduced a fifth one. Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space is, according to the press release, “the world’s first 5-D game, giving players control over both time and space.”

The sequel to the disappointing Xbox platformer will return to the same fundamental gameplay as before, with Blinx the cat solving puzzles by warping time. This time around, the player will also be able to take control of the enemy pigs, which, as common knowledge dictates, are great at stealth-based missions. And if players aren’t happy with the form that Mother Nature has given to cats and pigs, there’s plenty of opportunity to customise Blinx and his porcine nemeses so that they look slightly different.

A multiplayer mode has also been confirmed, although it is not yet known as to whether it will be Live! enabled. Further details are sure to come to light ahead of its Christmas 2004 release date, so stay tuned.
